Loft Conversions

The loft conversion is the most straight forward and common way to increase living space in central London.

You don't need to reduce the size of any precious garden space and it makes sense to improve and update your existing property if you do not want to move.

At Dermarta we can take care of the loft conversion from inception to final completion statement from the building control office at the council.

We will get the architect's plans drawn up, apply for planning permission if required and liaise with the building control officer at every stage.

Although the loft conversion is a reasonably basic template there are many variations to consider. A full width mansard, where the party walls are built up provides the maximum space, but a dormer construction within the party walls are a cheaper alternative.

The conversion must have minimum structural requirements in addition to new insulation, a conforming staircase, and updated fire regulations.

The overall space may dictate whether you go for the 2 bedrooms and ensuite or just the one larger room. There will be plenty of storage space under the eaves.
